What genetics are in play here?

Thanks Casey
Thanks for the extra information. But that just opened up more questions for me. As far as the snake that I have what do you think it is?

Yeah, I know. Genetics is definitely one of those things where the more you learn, you just find more new questions to ask.

As far as your snake, I don't know enough about how a typical spider het GS looks to offer an informed opinion. I totally see what you are saying about him looking a lot like a motley bee. But the spider pattern is highly variable, and when you combine in the influence of the het, I can also see it is possible that he is just a het that is showing through more than average.

There was a thread just a few days ago where a person thought his bumblebee might be a spinner blast because it didn't have the typical spider webby pattern, so you aren't alone with these kinds of questions.
